XRP Price Prediction: $1.50 Pullback, or End of the Rally?

XRP trades at just under $1.50 after failing to hold the handle. The question now is whether this is a routine cooldown or the start of something uglier.

Here’s our full XRP price prediction.Just last week, XRP spiked over 20%, briefly touching $1.70 on August 22, its highest print since January.

The rally unwound fast once Bitcoin stalled near $80,000 and dropped below $76,000, triggering a market-wide leverage flush that dragged XRP down with it. $XRP ran from $1.00 to $1.70 fast. Now sitting at $1.47–$1.50 cooling off.

Structure still intact — this looks like a reset, not a reversal.https://t.co/XWBgZfmqS5— Ripple Bull Winkle | Crypto Researcher (@RipBullWinkle) August 24, 2026 Daily RSI hit roughly 80, way overbought territory, just right as price hit the $1.70 resistance zone, an area stacked with trapped longs from multiple 2025 swing highs looking to break even.Bitcoin has since clawed back to around $77K, but the broader market has largely priced in last week’s positive catalysts and needs something new to keep pushing higher.
